Review by Kang

"Tom is a very good English teacher. I have problems understanding English literature very often because I am not a native speaker and Tom helped me with p

atience understanding English literature from context, background of the author and writing habits. Through his instructions I can finally appreciate the beauty of English literature like I appreciate the literature works in my mother tongue. From Shakespeare to Mark Twain I travelled through ages and time when I read, think about and ponder upon their masterpieces. Most importantly I am able to understand them, and it feels amazing. Thank you, Tom!"

Review by Sara

"Rebecca not only is very knowledgeable on the subject of biology, she loves it. This lets her teach with an unrivaled enthusiasm. If you find something yo

u think is interesting, she will go as far as she can to explain it to you. Having someone who loves her subject teach you is an amazing experience, and it makes it so much easier to care and learn. Rebecca is a dedicated educator, and I have never cared more about a subject than when she was teaching it."
